Custom layout hide tanks issue
rfere opened this issue · 6 comments
Hello, what I'm trying to achieve is a setup where I have one frame of only assigned tanks and one other frame for everyone else except the tanks. I thought this custom layout below would do just that but it does not seem to be working. Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug? Addon version is 2.0.34-classic for Classic SoM 1.14.2
Unfortunatelly the problem relies on blizzard code so i cannot full fix the issue.
In version 2.0.44 I fixed the issue in the grid2 customheaders code, but this means you have to Disable Blizzard Unit Frames.
So to enable the fix you have to go to General/Layouts/General and Uncheck the "Use Blizzard Unit Frames" Option.
But keep in mind that if you disable blizzard unit frames, the unit frames changes cannot be updated while in combat, so if some player joins or leaves the raid while in combat (or players are moved between groups), grid2 cannot remove or add the players (until combat ends).
Sorry for the late answer, but as today 21/10/2024, I can't see the option "General/Layouts/General and Uncheck the "Use Blizzard Unit Frames"" and I also have the bug where tanks role show up in dps group. I play WOW SOD.
I have somewhere "show blizzard raid/group/ etc" frame, but it's not fixing my issue.
I created a custom layout in editor with everyone but tank, and second one with tank only.
Tank only group works fine, but other one still show tanks.
I can't find where is my custom group data is located
Any suggestions ?
I removed the "Use Blizzard Unit Frames" option for general use time ago, because people was disabling the option for no important reason and then blaming that players joining the raid while in combat were not visible (this is a side effect of disabling this option because non-blizzard code cannot change unit frames in combat).
Now, to make the option visible in configuration you must type into chat something like :
/script
Grid2.isDevelop=true
Umm, i added an extra check in the code and this option is not enough to disable blizzard unit frames option, you must type those two lines into chat, or make a macro:
/script Grid2Layout.useInsecureHeaders=true
/script Grid2Layout:ReloadLayout(true)
Update to version 2.8.58-beta, the "Blizzard frames" options should be visible now for classic/vanilla clients in:
"General/Layouts/General" Tab.

Perfect, it's working thank you !
And I really don't understand why are people blaming about not being able to see if someone left or join raid while in combat. I mean, it's really not an inconvenience, is it ?
As healer, I suggest you to add in the "General" menu of "Layout" a checkbox to "Special unit headers visibility" and add "display tanks roles"
It's not uncommon that healer need to have a good visibility on tanks and therefore, adding this option maybe be really useful.
Thanks a lot !
